Dr Disrespect Makes His Position On Blockchain Games Clear

In a series of Tweets posted March 5, 2023, Dr Disrespect asked readers to imagine the entertainment value of playing a PvP game after discovering an asset worth a hundred thousand dollars. When it comes to extraction games specifically, he said “the concept of digital collectibles… is so exciting to me.” The streamer then went on to call those that doubt NFTs and blockchain collectibles can’t think outside the box. Responses to these inciteful comments were overwhelmingly critical, though some pointed out the potential of such a concept in video games if implemented correctly.

The concept of digital collectibles in an online game is so exciting to me. Especially an extraction type of game.

People saying scam and ‘ugh’ are just brain dead headline followers. Same people that spend a ton on skins for an annual release game. Same skins everyone has too.

Most of the praise for his beliefs were for the uniqueness of NFTs in games rather than Dr Disrespect’s title specifically. Most praise was backed by the caveat that a single successful cheater would irreperably damage the game’s integrity. One user said that the anti-cheat system had to be totally bulletproof, while another argued that an anti-cheat system with 100% efficiency — as would have to be the case with real money on the line — might be worth even more than the game or its NFTs.

extremely excited to see the proprietary anticheat system that will make this work

it’d arguably be worth more than the game itself

Still, most responses were critical of the Doc’s opinion. One user said they thought he was “better than that,” which prompted the streamer to directly call him an idiot. Dozens of others called NFTs a scam, with one particularly popular tweet from a Founder’s Pass buyer criticizing the decision.

NFTs are a scam, Doc.

This is coming from someone who bought your Founders Pass for Deadrop, HOPING you would stop there and use it as a “Ticket to the show” and not “The entire point of the show”

Good luck, but I feel like this is a rocky path to take.
